Richardson Cleared in Investigation
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D) “won’t be criminally charged in a yearlong federal investigation into pay-to-play allegations involving one of the Democratic governor’s large political donors,” the AP reports.
“The decision not to pursue indictments was made by top Justice Department officials, according to a person familiar with the investigation, who asked not to be identified because federal officials had not disclosed results of the probe.”
Said the person: “It’s over. There’s nothing. It was killed in Washington.”
